Theory Writing

Details Theory Paper: Here are the parts of the paper:

1. Using your textbook and at least one other source, explain your theory completely (2-3 pages).

2. Give a personal anecdote that can relate to the theory

3. Use the theory to explain the anecdote

4. Research review: Go to the research literature and review TWO PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH studies that reference the theory you are writing about (4-6 pages). You may collaborate with your group members to find these articles.

  1. Explain the study: Research questions/hypotheses, number of participants, methods used, and findings.
  2. Identify how the studies inform your scenario. Does it confirm, expand upon, or contradict your application of the theory?

5. Conclusion: Offer a summary statement of what you have covered in the paper. How well does the theory work in real life? How would you change or improve upon the studies you have discussed?

6. References: A reference page of all sources you used (at least 4).
